lol Telling a survivor of the Soviet Union that “we should do communism” is hilariously tone deaf.
Communism is not a logical system. Sure, the ideals of communism sound great. But any system that claims it exists for the common good, while also putting near absolute power into the hands of any party, is naive at best.
Hierarchy doesn’t work. Even if it’s “only for a short transition period.” Communism relies on a group of people to set up systems that work “for the greater good,” and then it relies on those people to willingly relinquish power when the “common good” system is in place.
And that’s where it’s failed every goddamn time. Because putting people in power over others is insane. Expecting them to hand over their nearly unchecked power is beyond insane. It’s stupid.
Instead of socialism, we should do communism
